The Internet of Things is revolutionizing utilities

Electricity companies – from generation through to transmission and distribution and retail – are investing billions, heavily in the IoT technology – an estimated $201 billion by 2018

The global number of devices being managed by utility companies is projected to grow from 485 million in 2013 to 1.53 billion in 2020

Traditional business models are being eroded, as utilities are using emerging technologies to optimize the flow of information, improve asset performance, increase energy efficiency and ensure supply.

Recent deregulation in many markets has put even more pressure on utilities to manage their costs and remain competitive in the market. IoT is a vital to achieve these aims.

Attend the conference and learn how to utilize IoT to:

prevent outages and failures

improve energy efficiency

improve operational efficiency

improve maintenance strategies and overall asset health

improve the user experience

“The IoT in Oil and Gas was a great show. I know I, and
other Microsoft partners, had meaningful conversations with customers.”-Randy Hoppe, Industry Director – Oil & Gas, Energy and Process Industries, Microsoft
